Mrs. Covert will instruct in French, Drawing, Painting, &c. As many other competent teachers will be employed as may be needed to instruct thoroughly, all who may favor I he Institution with their patronage. The Trustees take pleasure in announcing to their fellow citizens and tne public generally, their undiminished and ever-increasing confidence 111 Ihe Institution. It has accomplished all that could reasonably be expected, and has given, we believe, general satisfaction. The Board have recently adopted a regular and systematic course of instruction, timifar to that pursued in College, though less extensive. The course, however, will be thorough, requiring four years to complete it. The branches pursued during the first two years will comprehend those required by our best Colleges as a preparation for the Freshman Class; anil those pursued during the last two years will comprise their Freshman and Sophomore studies. Pursuing this course of instruction, students may fit themselves for advanced classes in College, for business, or for entering upon the study of their profession. A diploma or certificate will be given to such as complete a regular course in this institution. Those who arc nol prepared, or who do nol wish to enter regularly upon the course, can be accommodated with studies of their own choice as formerly. A similar course will be pursued in the Female Department, with Mich variations as shall be deemed suitable and appropriate. Sacred music will be regularly taught, gratuitously, to the members of the Institute. The Trustees and the Faculty pledge themselves to the community, to leave nothing undone that can reasonably be done to make the Institution worthy of the confidence and support of the friends of education and religion. Board can be obtained in good families on reasonable terms. Young gentlemen who wish to pursue an economical course can board themselves in buildings provided lor that purpose, at a trilling expense. A Teachers' department will be opened during the first eight weeks of the year. The terms per year for common English branches arc $20,i;0 Higher English branches aud the Classics 32,00 Drawing and painting extra 3,00 General expenses 1,00 No tuition bills will be made out for a less period than a quarter except in cases of sickness.

NEW CHURCH MUSIC The Church Choir: a collection of Sacred Music : comprising a great variety of Psalm and Hymn Tunes, Anthems and Chants, arranged for the Organ or Piano Forte. By Joseph Muencher, Professor of Biblical Literature in the Theological Seminary of the Protestant Episcopal Church, Gambicr, Ohio. In two parts. Part I. Contains the Rudiments of Vocal Music, Psalm and Hymn Tunes, &c., cec. Part II. Contains Anthems, Sentences, Chants, &c.; &c. In the preparation of th s collection of Sacred Music, it has Deen the aim of the edito rto furnish Churches with as great a variety of Tunes, composed in different styles, and adapted to the various occasions of public worship, as the limits ot the work would permit. The collection, it is believed, will be found sufficiently copious for all the ordinary purposes of public and social worship. Instead of a figured base, the music has all been carefully arranged for the Organ or Piano F'orle, from the conviction that many performers on those instruments have not had the opportunity to perfect themselves sufficiently in the science of music, to play the harmony with facility, even of plain Psalmody, from figures. It will be seen that the pages of the work are enriched with a variety of original compositions, prepared expressly for this collection, and also widi pieces from various English authors, not usually to be met with in this country. No pains or expense has been spared to get the work up in a style, in every respect, equal to any collection of music which has been published in this country ; and the price, for the size of the volume and execution of workmanship, is believed to be as low, if not lower, than any work of the kind. The Church Choir, for the short time in which it has been published, has been very favorably received by Professors and friends of Sacred Music. Teachers and others arc invited to examine the work.

In Press, and will be published early in May, " Cases, chiefly relating to the Criminal and Presentment Law, reserved for consideration and decid ed by the twelve Judges of Ireland, from May 1822, to November 1810, by Robert. Jebb, Esq., Barrister at Law; first American edition, with references, by John Wm. Wallace." " From the want of a Reporter, probably, it has happened that the merits of the Common Law Judges of Ireland have not hithert cen much known beyond the limits of their jurisdiction. The present volume may serve to show that the appointment of these Judges has been directed by the same discrimination, which, in less than forty years has given lo another department of Irish Law Ihe so'r "ices of Rkdesdai.e, of Manners, and of Sugden names, than which Ihe Jurisprudence of England and of our own country, know none more authoritative." ' No aulhoritv in the law can exceed such as is furnished by reports like Air. Jebb's. The law as laid down by twelve able Judges, w ho, after hearing a case well argued, have consulted, deliberated, and in the last resort decided, must be regarded as of controlling authority. In addition to this, Mr. Jebb's style of .reporting is very good. His slalemcnt of the case is clear anil orderly ; (lie arguments on both sides are well presented; his materials are said to bo of the " very highest authority," anil ihe judgment of IhcCourt is generally u-naiiimous. The Judges' appear, besides, to have been correspondence with the English Judges, and to have been some times assisted by them. T. & J. W. JOHNSON, Law Bookseller; Philadelphia, April 28, 1812.

BY A " CHICKEN MAN" OF 1840. The collection of statistical information concerning the resources and industry of the country, by the assistant marshals who wore employed to take the last census, was a very difficult work. The popular impression that a tremendous tux would soon follow the minute investigation of the private affairs of the people, caused the census-taker to be viewed in no better light than that of a tax-gatherer; and the consequence was, that the information sought by hiin was either withheld entirely, or given with great reluctance. The returns therefore made by the marshals exhibited a very imperfect view of the wealth and industrial progress of the country. In some portions of the country the excitement against the unfortunate officers who were known as the "c11'cf u men" made it almost dangerous for them to pro ceed with the business of taking the census; and bit ter were the taunts, threats, and abuse winch they received on all hands, but most particularly from the old women of the country. The dear old souls could not bear to be chatechised about the produce of their looms, poultry yards, and dairies ; and when they did " come down" upon the unfortunate inquisitor, it was with a force and volubility that were sure to leave an impression. We speak from experience, and feelingly on this subject; for it so happened, tnat tne Marshal ot the Southern llistrict ot Alabama, "reposing especial confidence" in our ability, invested us one day with all the powers of assistant Marshal, and arming us with the proper quantity of blanks, sent us forth to count the noses of all the men, women, children, and chickens, resident upon those nine hundred square miles of rough country which constitute the county of Tallapoosa. Glori ous sport! thought we; but it didn't turn out so. True we escaped without any drubbings, although we came unpleasantly near catching a dozen, and only escaped by a very peculiar knack we have of "sliding out; but then we were quizzed, laughed at. abused, and nearly drowned. Children shouted " Yonder goes the chicken man !" Men said, " Yes, d n mm, he'll be alter the taxes soon;" and the old women threatened, if he came to inquire about their chickens, "to set the dogs on hirn," while the young women observed "they didn't know what a man wanted to be so partic lar about gals' ages for, without he wasagwine-a-courtin.'" We have some reminiscences of our official peregrinations that will do to laugh at now, although the occurrences with which they are connected were, at the time, any thing but mirth inspiring to us. We roue up one day to the residence of a widow. rather past the prime of life (just that period at which nature supplies most abundantly the oil which lubricates the hinges of the female tongue) and hitching to the fence, walked into the house. "uood morning, madam, said we in our usual bland, and somewhat insinuating manner. "Mornin'," said the widow gruffly. Drawing our blanks from their case, we proceeded "I am the man, madam, that takes the census, and " "The mischief you are !" said the old termagant " Yes, I've hearn of you, Parson W., told me you was coming, and I told him jist what I tell you, that if you said 'cloth,' 'soap.'ur 'chickens,' to me, I'd set the dogs on ye. Here, Bull! here, romp!" Two wolfish curs responded to the call for Bull and Pomp, by coming to the door, smelling at our feet with a slight grow, and then laid down on the steps. "iNow." continued the oltl she savage, " them's the severest dogs in this country. Last week Bill Sto-necker's two year old steer jumped my yard fence, ami Hull and Pomp tuk nun by the throat, and they killed him afore my boys could break 'em loose, to save the world." " Yes. ma'am," said we, meekly ; " Bull and Pomp seem to be very fine dogs." " You may well say that: what I tells them to do they do and if I was to sick them on your old horse yonder, they'd eat him up afore you could say Jack ltoberson. And its jist what I shall do, if you try to pry into my consarns. They are none of your business, nor Van Buren's nuther, I reckon. Oh, old Van Buren ! I wish I had you here, you old, old rascal ! I'd show yon what I'd I'd make Bull and Pomp show you how to be sendin' out men to take down what little stuff people's got, jist to tax it, when its taxed enough a'ready !" All this time we were perspiring thro' fear of the fierce guardians of the widow's portal. At length, when the widow paused, we remarked that as she was determined not to answer questions about the produce of the farm, we would just set down tho age, sex, and complexion of each member of her family. " No such a thing you'll do no sich a thing," said she ; " I've got five in family, and that's all you'll git from me. Old Van Buren must have a heap to do, the dratted old villyan, to send you down here to take down how old my children is, and they are all between five and a hundred years old, they are all a plaguy sight whiter than you, and whether they are lie or she, is none of your consarns." We told her we should report her to the Marshal, and she would be fined, but it only augmented her wrath. " Yes ! send your Marshal, or your Mr. Van Buren here, if you're bad off to let 'em come let Mr. Van Buren come" (looking as savage as a Bengal tigress) "Oh, I wish he icould come" and her nostrils dilated, and her eyes gleamed "I'd cut his head off! " "That might kill him," we ventured to remark, by way of a joke. "Kill hiin! kill him oh if I had him here by the years I reckon I would kill him. A pretty fellow to be eating his vittils out'n gold spoons that poor people's taxed for, and raising an army to get him made King of Ameriky the audacious, nasty, stinking old scamp!" She paused a moment, and then resumed, "And now, mister, just put down what I tell you on that paper, and don't be telling no lies to send to Washington city. Jist put down 'Judy Tompkins, ageable woman, and four children.'" We objected to making any such entry, but tho old hag vowed that it should bo done, to prevent any misrepresentation of her case. Wo however were pretty resolute, until she appealed to the couchant whelps, Bull and Pomp. At the first glimpse of their teeth our courngo gave way; and we made the entry in a bold hand across a blank schedule "Judy Tompkins, ageable woman, and four children." We now begged the old ludy to dismiss her canine friends, that we might go out and depart: and forthwith mounting our old black, we determined to give the old soul a parting fire. Turning half round, in order to face her, we Bhouted, "Old 'oman!" "Who told you to call me old 'oman, youlong-legged, hatched-faced whelp, you? I'll make the dogs take you off that horse if you give me any more sarse. What do you want5" "Do you want to get married?" "Not to you, if I do!" Placing our right thumb on the nasal extremity of our countenance, we said, "You needn't be uneasy, old 'un, on that score thought you might suit sore-legged Dick S up our way, and should like to tell him he might count on if he come down next Sunday!" "Here Bull!" shouted the widow, "sick him Pomp!" but we cantered off, unwounded, fortunately, by the fangs of Bull and Pomp, who kept up the chase as long as they could hear the cheering voice of their mistress "Si-c-k, Pomp sick, eick, ei-c-k him Bull suboy! suboy! suboy!" Our next adventure was decidedly a dangerous one. Fording the Tallapoosa river, where its bed is extremely uneven, being formed of masses of rock full of fissures and covered with slimy green moss; when about two-thirds of the way across, we were hailed by Sol Todd from the bank we were approaching. We stopped to hear him more distinctly. "Hellow! little 'squire, you a-chicken hunting today?"Being answered affirmatively, he continued "You better mind the holes in them ere rocks if your horse's foot gets ketched in 'em you'il never get it out You see that big black rock down to your right? Well, there's good bottom down be low that, btnke down thar, outside that little riffle and now cut right into that smooth water and come across!" We followed Sol's directions to the letter and plunging into the smooth lealer, we found it to be a basin surrounded with steep ledges of rock and deep enough to swim the horse we rode. Round and round the poor old black toiled without finding any place at which he could effect a landing, so pre cipitous were the sides. Sol occasionally asked us "if the bottom wasn't first-rate," but did nothing to help U3. At length we scrambled out, wet and chilled to the bone for it was a sharp September morning and continued our journey not a little annoyed at the boisterous, roaring laughter of the said Solomon, at our picturesque appearance. Wo hadn't more than got out of hearing of Sol's cachinatory explosions, before we met one of his neighbors who gave us to understand that the duck ing we had just received, was but the fulfilment of a threat of Sol's, to make the "chicken-man" take a swim in the "Buck Hole." He had heard of our stopping on the opposite side of the river, the night previous, and learning our intention to ford just where we did, hxed himselt on the bank to ensure our finding the "Buck Hole." Ihis nilormation brought our nap right up. and requesting Bill Splawn to stay where he was till we returned, we galloped back to Sol's, and tounu that worthy, rod on shoulder, ready to leave on a fishing excursion. "Sol, old fellow," said we, "that was a most unfortunate hinge I made into that hole in the river I've lost $25 in specie out of my coat pocket, and I'm certain it's in that hole, for I felt my pocket get light while I was scuffling about in there. The money was tied up tight in a buckskin pouch, and I must get you to help me get it" This, of course, was a regular old-fashioned lie, as we had not seen the amount of cash mentioned as lost, in a "coon's age." It took, however, pretty well, and Sol concluded, as it was a prettv cold spell of weather for the season and the water was almost like ice, that half the contents of the buckskin pouch would be just about fair for recovering it. After some chaffering we agreed that Sol should dive for the money "on shares," and we went down with him, to the river, to point out the precise spot at which our pocket "grew light." We did so with anxious exactness, and Sol soon denuded himself and went under the water in the "Buck Hole," "like a shuffler duck with his wing broke." Puff! puff! as he rose to the surface. "Got it Sol?" "No dang it, here goes again" and Sol disapeared a second time. Puff! puff! and a considerable rattle of teeth as Sol once more rose to the "upper air." "What luck old horse?" "By jings, I felt it that time, butsomehow it slid outof my fingers." Down went Sol again, and up he came after the lapse of a minute, still without the pouch. "Are you right sure squire, that you lost it in this hole" said Sol getting out upon a large rock, while the chattering; of his teeth divided his words into rather more than their legitimate number of syllables. "Oh perfectly certain Sol, perfectly certain. You know $25 in hard dollars weigh a pound or two. I didn't mention the circumstunce when I first came out of the river because I was so scared and confused that I did not remember it. But I know just as well when the pouch broke through my coat pocket, as can be!" Thus re-assured, Sol took the water again, and as we were in a hurry, we requested him to bring the pouch and half the money to Dadeville, if his diving should prove successful. "To be sure I will," said he and his blue lips quivered with cold and his whole frame shook from the same cause. The "river ager" made Sol shake worse than that, that fall ! But we left him diving for the pouch industriously, and no doubt he would have got it, if it had been there. Once, as we were about to leave a house at which we had put up, the night previous, one of the girls a buxom one of twenty followed us to the fence, and the following tete-a-tete ensued: "Now, squire, they say you know, and I wan'tyou tell me, ef you please what will chickens be worth this fall ?'r "How many have you ?" "The rise of seventy, and three hens a-settin!" "Well, now, Miss Betsy," said we, "you know how-much I set by the old man your daddy and the old lady, you know how she and me always got along and Jim and Dave, you know we was always like brothers and yourself Miss Betsy, I consider ray particular friend and as its you, I'll tell you !" "Do, squire, of you please ; they say Van Buren's going to feed his big army on fowls ; and some folk say he's going to take 'cm without pay in' for 'em and some say he aint and I thought in course, ef he did pay for 'em, the price would rise !" "Well, the fact is but don't say nothing about it the army is to be fed on fowls ; the roosters wil be given to the officers to make 'em brave, and the hens to the common soldiers, because, you see, they aint as good." "In course !" "So you see, the hens will bo worth about three bits, and roosters a half a dollar, and ready sale at that." She was perfectly delighted, and we do not hesi-

Mrs. Covert will instruct in French, Drawing, Painting, &c. As many other competent teachers will be employed as may be needed to instruct thoroughly, all who may favor I he Institution with their patronage. The Trustees take pleasure in announcing to their fellow citizens and tne public generally, their undiminished and ever-increasing confidence 111 Ihe Institution. It has accomplished all that could reasonably be expected, and has given, we believe, general satisfaction. The Board have recently adopted a regular and systematic course of instruction, timifar to that pursued in College, though less extensive. The course, however, will be thorough, requiring four years to complete it. The branches pursued during the first two years will comprehend those required by our best Colleges as a preparation for the Freshman Class; anil those pursued during the last two years will comprise their Freshman and Sophomore studies. Pursuing this course of instruction, students may fit themselves for advanced classes in College, for business, or for entering upon the study of their profession. A diploma or certificate will be given to such as complete a regular course in this institution. Those who arc nol prepared, or who do nol wish to enter regularly upon the course, can be accommodated with studies of their own choice as formerly. A similar course will be pursued in the Female Department, with Mich variations as shall be deemed suitable and appropriate. Sacred music will be regularly taught, gratuitously, to the members of the Institute. The Trustees and the Faculty pledge themselves to the community, to leave nothing undone that can reasonably be done to make the Institution worthy of the confidence and support of the friends of education and religion. Board can be obtained in good families on reasonable terms. Young gentlemen who wish to pursue an economical course can board themselves in buildings provided lor that purpose, at a trilling expense. A Teachers' department will be opened during the first eight weeks of the year. The terms per year for common English branches arc $20,i;0 Higher English branches aud the Classics 32,00 Drawing and painting extra 3,00 General expenses 1,00 No tuition bills will be made out for a less period than a quarter except in cases of sickness.

NEW CHURCH MUSIC The Church Choir: a collection of Sacred Music : comprising a great variety of Psalm and Hymn Tunes, Anthems and Chants, arranged for the Organ or Piano Forte. By Joseph Muencher, Professor of Biblical Literature in the Theological Seminary of the Protestant Episcopal Church, Gambicr, Ohio. In two parts. Part I. Contains the Rudiments of Vocal Music, Psalm and Hymn Tunes, &c., cec. Part II. Contains Anthems, Sentences, Chants, &c.; &c. In the preparation of th s collection of Sacred Music, it has Deen the aim of the edito rto furnish Churches with as great a variety of Tunes, composed in different styles, and adapted to the various occasions of public worship, as the limits ot the work would permit. The collection, it is believed, will be found sufficiently copious for all the ordinary purposes of public and social worship. Instead of a figured base, the music has all been carefully arranged for the Organ or Piano F'orle, from the conviction that many performers on those instruments have not had the opportunity to perfect themselves sufficiently in the science of music, to play the harmony with facility, even of plain Psalmody, from figures. It will be seen that the pages of the work are enriched with a variety of original compositions, prepared expressly for this collection, and also widi pieces from various English authors, not usually to be met with in this country. No pains or expense has been spared to get the work up in a style, in every respect, equal to any collection of music which has been published in this country ; and the price, for the size of the volume and execution of workmanship, is believed to be as low, if not lower, than any work of the kind. The Church Choir, for the short time in which it has been published, has been very favorably received by Professors and friends of Sacred Music. Teachers and others arc invited to examine the work.

In Press, and will be published early in May, " Cases, chiefly relating to the Criminal and Presentment Law, reserved for consideration and decid ed by the twelve Judges of Ireland, from May 1822, to November 1810, by Robert. Jebb, Esq., Barrister at Law; first American edition, with references, by John Wm. Wallace." " From the want of a Reporter, probably, it has happened that the merits of the Common Law Judges of Ireland have not hithert cen much known beyond the limits of their jurisdiction. The present volume may serve to show that the appointment of these Judges has been directed by the same discrimination, which, in less than forty years has given lo another department of Irish Law Ihe so'r "ices of Rkdesdai.e, of Manners, and of Sugden names, than which Ihe Jurisprudence of England and of our own country, know none more authoritative." ' No aulhoritv in the law can exceed such as is furnished by reports like Air. Jebb's. The law as laid down by twelve able Judges, w ho, after hearing a case well argued, have consulted, deliberated, and in the last resort decided, must be regarded as of controlling authority. In addition to this, Mr. Jebb's style of .reporting is very good. His slalemcnt of the case is clear anil orderly ; (lie arguments on both sides are well presented; his materials are said to bo of the " very highest authority," anil ihe judgment of IhcCourt is generally u-naiiimous. The Judges' appear, besides, to have been correspondence with the English Judges, and to have been some times assisted by them. T. & J. W. JOHNSON, Law Bookseller; Philadelphia, April 28, 1812.

BY A " CHICKEN MAN" OF 1840. The collection of statistical information concerning the resources and industry of the country, by the assistant marshals who wore employed to take the last census, was a very difficult work. The popular impression that a tremendous tux would soon follow the minute investigation of the private affairs of the people, caused the census-taker to be viewed in no better light than that of a tax-gatherer; and the consequence was, that the information sought by hiin was either withheld entirely, or given with great reluctance. The returns therefore made by the marshals exhibited a very imperfect view of the wealth and industrial progress of the country. In some portions of the country the excitement against the unfortunate officers who were known as the "c11'cf u men" made it almost dangerous for them to pro ceed with the business of taking the census; and bit ter were the taunts, threats, and abuse winch they received on all hands, but most particularly from the old women of the country. The dear old souls could not bear to be chatechised about the produce of their looms, poultry yards, and dairies ; and when they did " come down" upon the unfortunate inquisitor, it was with a force and volubility that were sure to leave an impression. We speak from experience, and feelingly on this subject; for it so happened, tnat tne Marshal ot the Southern llistrict ot Alabama, "reposing especial confidence" in our ability, invested us one day with all the powers of assistant Marshal, and arming us with the proper quantity of blanks, sent us forth to count the noses of all the men, women, children, and chickens, resident upon those nine hundred square miles of rough country which constitute the county of Tallapoosa. Glori ous sport! thought we; but it didn't turn out so. True we escaped without any drubbings, although we came unpleasantly near catching a dozen, and only escaped by a very peculiar knack we have of "sliding out; but then we were quizzed, laughed at. abused, and nearly drowned. Children shouted " Yonder goes the chicken man !" Men said, " Yes, d n mm, he'll be alter the taxes soon;" and the old women threatened, if he came to inquire about their chickens, "to set the dogs on hirn," while the young women observed "they didn't know what a man wanted to be so partic lar about gals' ages for, without he wasagwine-a-courtin.'" We have some reminiscences of our official peregrinations that will do to laugh at now, although the occurrences with which they are connected were, at the time, any thing but mirth inspiring to us. We roue up one day to the residence of a widow. rather past the prime of life (just that period at which nature supplies most abundantly the oil which lubricates the hinges of the female tongue) and hitching to the fence, walked into the house. "uood morning, madam, said we in our usual bland, and somewhat insinuating manner. "Mornin'," said the widow gruffly. Drawing our blanks from their case, we proceeded "I am the man, madam, that takes the census, and " "The mischief you are !" said the old termagant " Yes, I've hearn of you, Parson W., told me you was coming, and I told him jist what I tell you, that if you said 'cloth,' 'soap.'ur 'chickens,' to me, I'd set the dogs on ye. Here, Bull! here, romp!" Two wolfish curs responded to the call for Bull and Pomp, by coming to the door, smelling at our feet with a slight grow, and then laid down on the steps. "iNow." continued the oltl she savage, " them's the severest dogs in this country. Last week Bill Sto-necker's two year old steer jumped my yard fence, ami Hull and Pomp tuk nun by the throat, and they killed him afore my boys could break 'em loose, to save the world." " Yes. ma'am," said we, meekly ; " Bull and Pomp seem to be very fine dogs." " You may well say that: what I tells them to do they do and if I was to sick them on your old horse yonder, they'd eat him up afore you could say Jack ltoberson. And its jist what I shall do, if you try to pry into my consarns. They are none of your business, nor Van Buren's nuther, I reckon. Oh, old Van Buren ! I wish I had you here, you old, old rascal ! I'd show yon what I'd I'd make Bull and Pomp show you how to be sendin' out men to take down what little stuff people's got, jist to tax it, when its taxed enough a'ready !" All this time we were perspiring thro' fear of the fierce guardians of the widow's portal. At length, when the widow paused, we remarked that as she was determined not to answer questions about the produce of the farm, we would just set down tho age, sex, and complexion of each member of her family. " No such a thing you'll do no sich a thing," said she ; " I've got five in family, and that's all you'll git from me. Old Van Buren must have a heap to do, the dratted old villyan, to send you down here to take down how old my children is, and they are all between five and a hundred years old, they are all a plaguy sight whiter than you, and whether they are lie or she, is none of your consarns." We told her we should report her to the Marshal, and she would be fined, but it only augmented her wrath. " Yes ! send your Marshal, or your Mr. Van Buren here, if you're bad off to let 'em come let Mr. Van Buren come" (looking as savage as a Bengal tigress) "Oh, I wish he icould come" and her nostrils dilated, and her eyes gleamed "I'd cut his head off! " "That might kill him," we ventured to remark, by way of a joke. "Kill hiin! kill him oh if I had him here by the years I reckon I would kill him. A pretty fellow to be eating his vittils out'n gold spoons that poor people's taxed for, and raising an army to get him made King of Ameriky the audacious, nasty, stinking old scamp!" She paused a moment, and then resumed, "And now, mister, just put down what I tell you on that paper, and don't be telling no lies to send to Washington city. Jist put down 'Judy Tompkins, ageable woman, and four children.'" We objected to making any such entry, but tho old hag vowed that it should bo done, to prevent any misrepresentation of her case. Wo however were pretty resolute, until she appealed to the couchant whelps, Bull and Pomp. At the first glimpse of their teeth our courngo gave way; and we made the entry in a bold hand across a blank schedule "Judy Tompkins, ageable woman, and four children." We now begged the old ludy to dismiss her canine friends, that we might go out and depart: and forthwith mounting our old black, we determined to give the old soul a parting fire. Turning half round, in order to face her, we Bhouted, "Old 'oman!" "Who told you to call me old 'oman, youlong-legged, hatched-faced whelp, you? I'll make the dogs take you off that horse if you give me any more sarse. What do you want5" "Do you want to get married?" "Not to you, if I do!" Placing our right thumb on the nasal extremity of our countenance, we said, "You needn't be uneasy, old 'un, on that score thought you might suit sore-legged Dick S up our way, and should like to tell him he might count on if he come down next Sunday!" "Here Bull!" shouted the widow, "sick him Pomp!" but we cantered off, unwounded, fortunately, by the fangs of Bull and Pomp, who kept up the chase as long as they could hear the cheering voice of their mistress "Si-c-k, Pomp sick, eick, ei-c-k him Bull suboy! suboy! suboy!" Our next adventure was decidedly a dangerous one. Fording the Tallapoosa river, where its bed is extremely uneven, being formed of masses of rock full of fissures and covered with slimy green moss; when about two-thirds of the way across, we were hailed by Sol Todd from the bank we were approaching. We stopped to hear him more distinctly. "Hellow! little 'squire, you a-chicken hunting today?"Being answered affirmatively, he continued "You better mind the holes in them ere rocks if your horse's foot gets ketched in 'em you'il never get it out You see that big black rock down to your right? Well, there's good bottom down be low that, btnke down thar, outside that little riffle and now cut right into that smooth water and come across!" We followed Sol's directions to the letter and plunging into the smooth lealer, we found it to be a basin surrounded with steep ledges of rock and deep enough to swim the horse we rode. Round and round the poor old black toiled without finding any place at which he could effect a landing, so pre cipitous were the sides. Sol occasionally asked us "if the bottom wasn't first-rate," but did nothing to help U3. At length we scrambled out, wet and chilled to the bone for it was a sharp September morning and continued our journey not a little annoyed at the boisterous, roaring laughter of the said Solomon, at our picturesque appearance. Wo hadn't more than got out of hearing of Sol's cachinatory explosions, before we met one of his neighbors who gave us to understand that the duck ing we had just received, was but the fulfilment of a threat of Sol's, to make the "chicken-man" take a swim in the "Buck Hole." He had heard of our stopping on the opposite side of the river, the night previous, and learning our intention to ford just where we did, hxed himselt on the bank to ensure our finding the "Buck Hole." Ihis nilormation brought our nap right up. and requesting Bill Splawn to stay where he was till we returned, we galloped back to Sol's, and tounu that worthy, rod on shoulder, ready to leave on a fishing excursion. "Sol, old fellow," said we, "that was a most unfortunate hinge I made into that hole in the river I've lost $25 in specie out of my coat pocket, and I'm certain it's in that hole, for I felt my pocket get light while I was scuffling about in there. The money was tied up tight in a buckskin pouch, and I must get you to help me get it" This, of course, was a regular old-fashioned lie, as we had not seen the amount of cash mentioned as lost, in a "coon's age." It took, however, pretty well, and Sol concluded, as it was a prettv cold spell of weather for the season and the water was almost like ice, that half the contents of the buckskin pouch would be just about fair for recovering it. After some chaffering we agreed that Sol should dive for the money "on shares," and we went down with him, to the river, to point out the precise spot at which our pocket "grew light." We did so with anxious exactness, and Sol soon denuded himself and went under the water in the "Buck Hole," "like a shuffler duck with his wing broke." Puff! puff! as he rose to the surface. "Got it Sol?" "No dang it, here goes again" and Sol disapeared a second time. Puff! puff! and a considerable rattle of teeth as Sol once more rose to the "upper air." "What luck old horse?" "By jings, I felt it that time, butsomehow it slid outof my fingers." Down went Sol again, and up he came after the lapse of a minute, still without the pouch. "Are you right sure squire, that you lost it in this hole" said Sol getting out upon a large rock, while the chattering; of his teeth divided his words into rather more than their legitimate number of syllables. "Oh perfectly certain Sol, perfectly certain. You know $25 in hard dollars weigh a pound or two. I didn't mention the circumstunce when I first came out of the river because I was so scared and confused that I did not remember it. But I know just as well when the pouch broke through my coat pocket, as can be!" Thus re-assured, Sol took the water again, and as we were in a hurry, we requested him to bring the pouch and half the money to Dadeville, if his diving should prove successful. "To be sure I will," said he and his blue lips quivered with cold and his whole frame shook from the same cause. The "river ager" made Sol shake worse than that, that fall ! But we left him diving for the pouch industriously, and no doubt he would have got it, if it had been there. Once, as we were about to leave a house at which we had put up, the night previous, one of the girls a buxom one of twenty followed us to the fence, and the following tete-a-tete ensued: "Now, squire, they say you know, and I wan'tyou tell me, ef you please what will chickens be worth this fall ?'r "How many have you ?" "The rise of seventy, and three hens a-settin!" "Well, now, Miss Betsy," said we, "you know how-much I set by the old man your daddy and the old lady, you know how she and me always got along and Jim and Dave, you know we was always like brothers and yourself Miss Betsy, I consider ray particular friend and as its you, I'll tell you !" "Do, squire, of you please ; they say Van Buren's going to feed his big army on fowls ; and some folk say he's going to take 'cm without pay in' for 'em and some say he aint and I thought in course, ef he did pay for 'em, the price would rise !" "Well, the fact is but don't say nothing about it the army is to be fed on fowls ; the roosters wil be given to the officers to make 'em brave, and the hens to the common soldiers, because, you see, they aint as good." "In course !" "So you see, the hens will bo worth about three bits, and roosters a half a dollar, and ready sale at that." She was perfectly delighted, and we do not hesi-
